Subaru Crosstrek Service Manual: Dtc b1838 short in curtain shield airbag lh squib circuit (to +b)

Diagnosis start condition:

Ignition voltage is 10 V to 16 V.

DTC detecting condition:

• Curtain airbag harness (LH) is shorted to power supply.

• Curtain airbag module (LH) is faulty.

• Airbag control module is faulty.

Before performing diagnosis, refer to “CAUTION” in “General Description”. General Description > CAUTION">

1.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.

2) Disconnect the connector (AB21) from seat belt pretensioner (LH).

3) Disconnect connector (AB19) from side airbag module (LH).

4) Disconnect the airbag resistor from test harness N.

5) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module.

6) Connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18).

7) Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.

8) Measure the voltage between connector (6AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(6AG) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

(6AG) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage less than 1 V?
